"Madam." Butler Hubert stopped a few steps from Old Mrs. Pierson, who was currently watering the plants. "I've sent Madam Mildred off. She says she'll be back soon."
Old Mrs. Pierson smiled as she placed the watering can to the side. Holding her hands behind her, a satisfied smile turned up on her face.
Butler Hubert, on the other hand, maintained a smile at the peaceful look on the elderly woman's face. "It seems something good happened, Old Madam."
"Mildred finally mustered her courage," she said with relief.
His brows rose in surprise, and then his expression softened. "No wonder you were smiling like that, madam."
"It took her quite a while," he added in relief, slowly gazing up at the sky. His eyes softened as he thought about Mildred's mother. "She'll probably be heaving a sigh of relief too."
Old Mrs. Pierson chuckled while Butler Hubert raised his brows in surprise.
